Photographer's Note

Madiba, named after Nelson Mandela, is one of the three 3-month old lion cubs that recently came to the Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden at the Mirage Casino. The other two are named Freedom and Timba-Masai.

Hello Eleu,
Still cute, but not much longer. This is a nice group photo with what looks like it could be an exciting environment for baby lions. I hope that living in a "casino" won't be as bad for them as it sounds. For the time being they seem to have fun, but I hope there is no human hand inside that glove.
Kind regards,
Gert

I have mixed feelings regarding animals in captivity.
I enjoy seeing them, but am sad they are no longer in their natural habitat.
This is an appealing scene with the 3 cubs appearing playful especially the one in front with the active mouth.
